Summary: An entire war in the west!
Comment: Most people, even serious Civil War historians often overlook the fact that the Confederate Armies captured Santa Fe! Or that entire battles were fought that far west! "Bloddy Valverde" is an amazingly detailed account of my favorite battle. This, the biggest battle of the campaign is won of the most interesting of the war! from Graysons comical attempt to used mules as a primitive guided smart bomb to the amount of federal regulars involved, the types of ordnance, a lance charge defeated by a Napoleonic square till the turning point...a dismounted shotgun charge against the federal batteries! This is the single most detailed book of thie battle, breaking down the events to almost every 30 minutes. The research and depth is amazing...many myths and misconceptions of this battle are cleared up. Just when you think you know everything about the American Civil War this comes along!

Summary: Superb !
Comment: As a Civil buff you always want to explore parts of this conflict which are not so well known yet. In this book John Taylor describes this "small" battle as vivid as it surely was. This book is and certainly will remain the ultimate study of the battle of Valverde. Very good 3D-maps which really help you to get into the whole dynamics of this conflict. Read it and learn more about the Transmississippi !
